Single I Heather Little – Hands Like Mine (Feat. Patty Griffin)

 

And the response to the upcoming release of Heather Little’s album ‘By Now’ has left us kind of speachless

Of course we wanted to release the album because we love it, but we really did not anticipate EVERYBODY would jump up to write reviews and to spin some tracks. To make things easy for the radio people, we’ve picked Hands Like Mine (feat. Patty Griffin) as our pick of the week.

I tried one on
It was a strange kind of heavy
Sharp around the edges
And I swore to God I’d never take it off
And the boy that gave it to me
He promised me the moon
But all he had was the dark where it belonged

It wasn’t his fault
He didn’t know the roller coaster we were on
Was a one-way ride straight to hell
And those were my white knuckles on the wheel the whole damn time
Should’ve been a sign
They don’t make a ring for hands like mine

Well I’m always digging
In the dirt and the hurt
Second time around I was digging myself a hole
And the love that I exhumed was not like I recalled
When the old wears off all you got is the truth

It wasn’t his fault
Guess I thought time would leave him like he was
I had to tear apart all I built for my heart in my mind
Callouses and all I’ll be fine
If they don’t make a ring for hands like mine

I can’t keep a hold of nothing silver or gold
I’ve made diamonds turn to coal
There’s not one dream I haven’t crushed
I break everything I touch

It’s not your fault
I’m always the wrecking ball
Or a dynamite-proof wall you just can’t climb
You’ll drive yourself crazy trying
‘Cause they don’t make a ring for hands like mine
I tried one on and I swore to God I’d never take it off
